Quitting Your Job
Worked in a kitchen and was the only one cleaning the things that dealt with the raw chicken and keeping the cooks following health code. I quit and within the month they were put on notice from the health department and fined. Also the store manager was arrested for embezzling money from the ATM.
I get shit all the time for trying to challenge the status quo. I know for a fact everyone will be happy once I'm gone. I'll be happy once I'm gone.
Unfortunately I work in dystopia USA and am a corpo whore for healthcare because I have a family to support.
Not you, but “corpo whore” made me think of this.
I'm in the unfortunate position of being someone's boss, and I had to have a frank discussion with an employee who wanted special treatment about how replaceable they are. That conversation sucks, because if I had more autonomy, I'd grant more privileges to everyone (i.e. more WFH).
My advice: don't make yourself replaceable, your employer isn't worth it. Instead, make yourself an attractive hire, so you can always jump ship if your corp pulls something (and they will).
I got let go from a job once. They lost all of their contracts within a year. From personal experience, sometimes everything does depend on you. Whether your managers understand that or not is a different story.
Similar story for me. I quit though because management was getting so toxic we couldn't get anything done.
Learned through the grapevine that the company went bankrupt within a year.
